Writing Variables to Files with Filenames stored in Variables

Hello all.

I have another quick one concerning... Yup, you guessed it! Variables and filenames. Basically, I have a questionnaire that the user fills in. I have to then save the answers in a txt file. Also, the filename is stored in a string, so I wish to write the answers to an already existing txt with the same name as the variable. What is the correct syntax for this?

Thanks

If the filename is stored in a string, make sure to call c_str() when passing that to the filestream's constructor or open function.

Are you having specific problems, or were you just referring to the syntax for using a string variable as a filename?

No specific problems, just pondering the syntax. Also, which operator do I use to write a variable to the file?

Something like: Stream<<"Text to save"<<variabletosave;

Many thanks for the reply.

Yes, that looks correct. If you know how to output it to cout, you can probably do the exact same thing with an ofstream.
